Denver Elementary’s Positive IMPACT is an after-school activity-based character-building program for boys in grades third through fifth. The program focuses on teaching boys skills to help them make a positive impact on their communities. The pillars of the program are Integrity, Motivation, Passion, Academics, Community and Tolerance. These skills are taught through the playing of various sports and other activity-based games. The program meets once a week from October through April. Currently there are 23 boys engaged in the programming! Shown are young men working hard and having fun. Mentors leading the program include Justin Shober, Officer Eric Fisher, Paige Roell and Greg Benner.

The StoryWalk® begins to the right of the Lititz Public Library entrance and moves counterclockwise around the library.

CEF Receives Donation

Cocalico Education Foundation (CEF) recently received $20,000 from Clark Associates Charitable Foundation and Michael Thornton, Executive Director. Rachel Brandt, Marketing Coordinator of The Restaurant Store, and a few fellow employees, met with Malory Kreider, CEF Vice President after the generous donation had been given. The charitable contribution, part of the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program, will be used to help fund initiatives promoting cultural experiences, the arts and literacy activities.

The CEF manages the donations and awards money to deserving programs that are not funded by the district and the local tax base. Thus, thanks to Clark Associates Charitable Foundation and other local businesses, additional opportunities that encourage more productive, motivated students are possible. Just a few of the programs receiving grant money this year include Computers for Cocalico, German-American Partnership Program Exchange, Multi-Colored Screen Printing Press, Jump2Math and Dashing into STEM. For more information, call 717-336-1413.
